Children's programs

All registration fees and trail passes must be paid prior to participating in any 100 Mile Nordic activities.

PRACTICE SESSIONSPractices are scheduled for Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays followed by hot chocolate, snack, and a social time in the lodge.

Sundays - 1:00 to 2:30

Thursday – 5:00 to 6:30

Please arrive about 15 minutes before practice begins to allow time to wax skis, get dressed, etc.Practices happen in groups. Skiers are grouped according to skill level and age. However, there may be times when groups are combined. Parents are encouraged to participate and improve their own skiing at the same time!

Please Note:

Coast Cup, Teck BC, and Teck Midget are great opportunities for our children to race and/or observe racing. The energy is amazing in the spirit of friendly competition and emphasis on club spirit.

If the weather or snow conditions are not ideal or the temperature is colder than -15 C, we will continue with the practice as scheduled but it will be modified to accommodate the conditions. We will either do a modified outdoor program and/or provide an indoor program. If it is extremely cold, such as -25 C or the roads to the trails are not drivable, practice will need to be cancelled. Please use your personal judgement.

All parents are responsible for their children while at Nordics practice. If you need to leave the 99 Mile Ski Trail area, please communicate to your child's coach which adult has agreed to be the designated responsible adult, who is NOT a coach.

If out for a ski, please be prompt returning to the lodge at the end of practice.

Ski trail passes must be worn at all times
